Item:262718412924VINTAGE HOUSE-ABOUT US We are a small family run company based in South Devon and have been restoring furniture for several years after deciding to turn our hobby into a business. We professionally restore antique and vintage pieces, painting some which need updating and preserving those which look handsome left untouched. We love anything old and antique and take great care in the preparation and repair of all items, treating woodworm and fixing loose joints as a matter of course. HAND PAINTED WASH STAND This is a lovely old piece which dates to the turn of the 20th Century, made of mahogany and veneers this washstand is a very useful piece, ideal for a bedroom, or it could be adapted to house a sink in a bathroom.As with most pieces such as this the base is fairly lightweight, all of the weight of this piece is in the marble top which is removable and is not fixed to the base, it simply sits on top. The washstand is set on narrow legs with a useful cupboard to either end which flank a central drawer set over an arched recess. The cupboards have very thin shelves which are made of plywood, these may be later replacements The top of the washstand consists of a heavy piece of removable marble. The marble is a beautiful grey and brown colour and is in good condition with various thin scratches and marks of age and use, there are some small holes near the back where a back plate would have once sat. I have hand painted this piece in 'Gentle Granite', a new colour that I have created which is part of our beautiful new colour palette, the colour is an elegant mid grey colour, a shade which will compliment many colour schemes. The paintwork has been lightly distressed for a gently aged look and then waxed for protection. The paintwork is solid colour with a smooth finish which has a slight sheen. CONDITION Generally it is in good condition with some cosmetic marks of age and use, various small dents and knocks to the wood. The marble is generally in good order with some thin scratches here and there. The right hand side panel has a horizontal shrinkage crack and the arch at the front has been repaired to the right hand side, as shown. The cupboard interiors have marks of age and use, the drawer interior has been painted.MEASUREMENTS height - 30 inches width - 42 & 1/4 inches depth- 19 & 1/2 inchesThe measurements are taken at the widest points(marble top).
